- 1 8oz block Athenos Chunk Feta Cheese
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp cracked black pepper
- 2 tsp minced garlic

- Bake tomatoes and feta for 30-35 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to burst their juices.
- While the tomatoes and feta are baking, cook the pasta. Bring a large salted pot of water to a boil and cook pasta noodles according to package instructions for ‘al dente’. Drain the noodles and add to the cooked tomatoes and feta.
